best baseball game to date on a console.
Knowledge of Japanese
and Knowledge of Japanese Baseball.
Those who have both will enjoy it, as have I.
Graphics are outstanding, the game play is near FLAWLESS, and the player likenesses are near perfect. This game has a similar "Career Mode" where you can create a player "yourself" pick a number, pick a nick-name, choose which name you want on the back of your jersey and which team you would like to play for.
There are 4 different "franchise" modes. I have been playing both the "dynasty" mode and the regular season mode. Season mode you can in a sense control all 12 teams. Which comes in handy when you want to adjust rosters. Like what i did "mysteriously putting Matsuzaka on my favorite team the Softbank Hawks" or "Reuniting KOKUBO with his old mates (fukouka Softbank Hawks.)
This game Rocks. I cant think of anything bad to say about this game, except people who dont know japanese will find themselves becoming frusterated.
